To see the work of more pro- fessional archaeologists, visit Zippori National Park near Haifa. The huge remains of a settlement from the Roman and Byzantine periods is not as elab- orate as Masada, but are equal- ly fascinating. There are the huge stone seats of the theater, the two-story Citadel with its view, the Roman villa and mo- saic floor featuring the "Mona Lisa of the Galilee," and the Jewish quarter. There is also a museum on the site that has an interactive computerized infor- mation system and excellent ar- tifact displays.
